sonnyday Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Awaiting a decision is so nerve-wrecking right now! I am happy for everyone else though--all these acceptances and alternates make me feel somewhat hopeful. But I can't help but wonder how many people are willing to post that they have an acceptance but not the rejections. Is it that there are generally more acceptances than rejections or is it that the rejections are too ashamed to post? Kexin Renlei 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi sonnyday, I'm told by the Fulbright coordinator at my school that, after the initial recommendation phase, host countries are given twice as many applicants as there are spots available for each particular country. So overall there should be an equal number of rejections and acceptances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALSimon Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Here's the response I got from Pam that I promised to share with all my Central America/Caribbean buddies out there: Dear _________, We are working to get the notification out as soon as possible. I hope by mid-April or so we will be letting applicants know. Best, Pam Hopefully this means we will know in the next couple of weeks. Thank you tunnels! This makes me think that they have decisions, but are just "working to get the notifications out." Let's pretend that's the case. That means this week or next. I wonder if the Ash Wednesday/Good Friday/ Easter holiday(s) are going to interfere. I don't know anything much about these holidays, but they sure seem to jam up the public transit in my area.

nkl1201 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 It's wonderful to hear everyone's great news. I'm (im)patiently waiting to hear from the Netherlands. Based on the last 4 year's notification dates, I'm estimating April 10th. Just found out this am that my back-up school funding fell through. Really hard to keep my Fulbright hopes up in light if this devastating news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
